Google Pixel 10 Series Officially Teased Ahead of August 20 Launch, Big Leaps in Design and Zoom Tech

The wait is almost over. Google has officially teased the Pixel 10 Pro, and if that wasn’t enough to stir buzz, a fresh batch of press renders — courtesy of trusted leaker @evleaks — have now spilled the beans on the full Pixel 10 lineup, revealing more than just looks. We’re talking hardware, zoom tech, new accessories, and even charging surprises.

Pixel season is about to heat up, and all signs point to a major generational leap. Here’s everything we know so far.

A Glimpse at All Models — and Colors

Google hasn’t been shy this time. The official teaser was followed by a flood of press renders that lay bare the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and a new Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

Each phone is shown in multiple colors — some familiar, some fresh. The render reveals include matte and glossy finishes across the lineup. The Fold model, however, stands out the most, flaunting a multi-alloy steel hinge paired with aerospace-grade high-strength aluminum alloy on the cover. Basically, it looks as tough as it sounds.

Short and clear: The Pixel 10 lineup looks clean, polished, and more premium than ever.

And it seems like Google’s finally putting more thought into material choices, especially with the foldable model. That’s important. Durability has been a talking point ever since foldables entered the scene — and now Google wants to be taken seriously in that space.

Tensor G5 Powers the Entire Lineup

Under the hood, all Pixel 10 models will be powered by Google’s new Tensor G5 chip, which is expected to bring better AI processing, improved thermals, and snappier overall performance.

While Google hasn’t officially detailed the specs, leaks suggest the G5 chip is the first fully in-house chip designed with help from TSMC, marking a shift from Samsung’s manufacturing used in previous Tensor SoCs.

The switch could mean:

• Better efficiency

• More consistent performance under load

• Improved GPU for smoother gaming and video editing

That’s big news if you’ve ever dealt with overheating issues on older Pixels. Looks like Google finally listened.

Huge Zoom Upgrade for Pro Models

Here’s where things get interesting. The Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL will come with triple rear cameras, including a telephoto lens that supports Pro Res zoom up to 100x — a massive bump from the 30x max on last year’s Pro models.

Meanwhile, the regular Pixel 10 will offer Super Res zoom up to 20x, which is still a decent jump from the previous 8x–10x range.

Let’s keep it real — not everyone uses 100x zoom. But even at 20x or 30x, if the quality holds up, that could make a real difference in capturing details at concerts, sporting events, or just across the street.

This level of zoom is shaping up to be more than a gimmick — Google is backing it with AI-powered stabilization and clarity tools, similar to what Samsung and Apple have been doing.

Magnetic Charging and Pixelsnap Are Coming

The renders also show a new magnetic charging system, with signs pointing to Qi 2 support and 25W wireless charging across the Pixel 10 lineup. This is expected to be branded as “Pixelsnap” — Google’s take on MagSafe-style charging.

That name might sound silly at first, but the utility isn’t. Snapping on a charger without fiddling with cables? That’s a win.

No more lining up coils manually or awkward placements — magnetic alignment makes charging easier and more reliable, especially at night or on the go.

Pixel Watch 4, Pixel Buds Pro 2, and More on the Way

It’s not just about phones. Google will also pull the curtain back on new wearables.

The Pixel Watch 4 will come in two color variants, according to the renders. But design-wise? It’s still rocking the familiar curved screen, so not a radical change — just an evolution.

The Pixel Buds Pro 2 also got leaked in a new color, though nothing drastic looks different beyond the paint job.

A new budget offering, Pixel Buds 2a, is also expected to debut at the event. These could be Google’s answer to Apple’s AirPods 3 or Samsung’s Galaxy Buds FE — more affordable, lighter, and with enough smarts to satisfy casual users.

Mark Your Calendars — Launch Set for August 20

Here’s the full timeline to keep an eye on:

India is getting the Pixel phones just a day after the global reveal — that’s a first for Google. Usually, there’s a longer delay. So fans in India finally won’t have to wait weeks.

Also worth noting: Pre-orders will likely come with accessory bundles (like the Buds 2a or Watch 4) based on past trends, though nothing’s confirmed just yet.
